THE BUREAU OF, LABOR STA.
TISTICS.

This bureau, we are glad to know
from what we have seen, is collecting
much valuable information in refer
eence to the present condition of labor
in North Carolina. Commissioner
Jones informs us that blanks have
been sent to all the counties, and pretty
full returns have been received from
all of them. There are about 1000
of these returns already received, and
they embrace a variety of subjects in
reference to labor and the condition
of labor in the State.
The farmers of the State have an
swered the inquiries sent out very
fully, and have made many valuable
suggestions of various, kinds in refer
ence to the farming interest. In the
East the farmers complain of the I'm.
reliability of labor. They also speak
OF the extensive use Of the sg1uano and
the mortgage and lien bond system
as ruinous to the farming interest IN
the East. Less guano is being bought
this year, however, than any recent
year-lessm ortgaging is also reported.
These bad crop years have rather dis.
coufaged the farmers, bat late returns
indicate that better work IS being
done, and the outlook lis represented
as decidedly more hopeful /.
In the West more attention IS being
paid by farmers to and tile
raising Of stock than formerly The
many answers received from farmers
alone would make a -yerysuseful and
valuable report.
There have also been many interest
ing answers received by the bureau

PLEASE NOTICE.

In writing to this Office to change the
address of a paper, our subscribers will do
us a favor by stating the Office at which
the paper is received, as well as the one
to which it is desired to be sent. Failure
to do this puts us to a great deal of trouble
and the necessity of going through a long
list of names, involving not only much
work, but much loss of time, when time
is valuable.

. Circulars have been sent out for
opinions as to the best method for the
State to adopt in dealing with convict
labor, taking sqto consideration the
best interests of fee labor, the best
interests Of the State and the convict.
There is a very general opposition on
the part Of the mechanics of the State
to allowing convict labor TO- come in
Contact withfree labor. The responses
received from mechanics, manufac-
turers and others in the State, and
from penitentiary authorities outside
of theState are very full, and discuss
the matBefin a very spirited and in
teresting manner. The replies received
embrace the very best thought on the
subject. There is a general expression
on the part of our people in favor of
using the convicts on the public roads
and canals of the State. There is
opposition, however, TO- giving the
work of the convicts to private enter
prises. A great many answers favor
the establishment of the whipping post
as a punishment for minor offenses.
1t is alleged that the p~enitentiary has
no terrors for most of the short term
criminals. The penitentiary is favored
as a punishment for graver offences.
The replies in regard to convict labor
represent all shades of opinion, and
show that the writer's have been think
ing upon the subject. No part of the
Commissioners report will be more
interesting than the chapter on convict
labor.
The bureau is now sending out
blanks to the cotton and tobacco
manufacturers of the State in order to
get information in reference to labor
in these two important branches of
industry. The questions propounded
are minute, but not impertinent, and
will be answered, we think, without
hesitancy.
From what we have seen of the
bureau, we take pleasure in commend
ing it for the work it is doing. We
believe it will be of practical value to
the State.

ethhatthe Nonpareil mill, made by some
one in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Universal

the Barbour Machine Works, of En::

not have done more in her preparation

Chronic Bronchitis.

Chronic Bronchitis Is also an infiamma
ton of the mucous membran Of the bron-
chial tnbes. When cold settles on the
lungs the disease either ends in bronchitis
or pneumonia If 1t ends in bronchitis ii
usually passes off as n cold on the chest,
aud still the patient does D IT feel entirely
well. He feels tired and ianguid, and is in.
capable of taking bis usual amount OF exer-
cise. and experiences shortDess of breath
with more or less warmth in the palms OF
his hauds. Soon after this n cough appesr
accompanied by an expecfofatiOn OF thick
mucus, followed by u hectic flush, loss OF
tinue, when the patient assumes all the ap.
pearances OF having genuine case OF con-
sumption. But this is simply cstarrh of the
lungs or chronic Bronchitis.
In the later stage of the disease the mucus

comes copgested and intammtd. There
are no cayaties poI tubercies in the lungs,
but merely wasting away OF the larger
bronchial tubes, and death takes place
from obstruction Of the bronchial tubes and
air cells of the lungs. The patient dies

unable to expectorate the mucus which

Tom (;OrllaIee.

1t is remarkable that no one has
been sent to Cotton who is acquain ted
with Gormle to identify him. The
person now in jail at Cotton has the
most peculiar marks on his arm that
correspond with those on the arm of
Gormlee. The mother of the child
that was outraged, or some one well
acquainted with Gormlee, could go to
Cotton in two hours and settle the
question and remove all mys.
terry at once. There are many who
believe that the man at Cotton is
Gormlee, on account Of the fac simile
OF the marks on his arm. The ques-
ton can be settled in two hours, and
settled forever.
